B Priority character: G.R.A.M.O.S

Gramos was a B priority character whose main involvement in the game would be to act as a guide for the player.

In hindsight the concept for this character was very ambitious with little thought about the conversion into 3D.


Overall Gramos’s model came in at 13,400 Triangles, understandably more so than Vivi’s due to the complexity of the model.

The time spent building this character was a lot less than Vivi, this was due to a better knowledge of the programmes used as well as a better sense of time management.



Gramos, a.k.a Robo gramps, Gramps or Dedushka (Russian for Grandad, used by Vivi when she was a kid) was the first prototype of a human vs machine hybrid, created by the government that sit atop Vertical City.

After a while a new and improved model was designed making Gramos redundant, and as a result was deactivated and tossed out. It wasn’t until a small girl named Vivi came across the robot that he found himself with a new role, acting as a grandfather figure to Vivi after she placed a Santa Claus beard on him.

He became his own faction in the lower cities after creating his own gang members in the form of children that would help him gather resources to make high end technology that would be supplied to gangs.
